Kings of Brass

Kings of Brass (K.O.B.) is an award-winning New Orleans brass band founded in 2018 by musicians drawn from the city's most prominent street and stage bands. Melding second-line tradition with jazz, funk, hip-hop, R&B, and rock and roll, the band took the crown at the 2022 Red Bull Street Kings competition at Music Box Village, cementing their reputation as one of the genre's top ensembles. They regularly perform at iconic New Orleans events and venues, including the French Quarter Fest, Essence Fest, the National Fried Chicken Festival, d.b.a. New Orleans, the Blue Nile, and the historic Dew Drop Inn.
